Description
The machine processes containers via a buffer-guided entry into star wheels, presses containers into position, applies labels with rotation-assisted smoothing, and exits labeled products. Designed for high-speed, high-precision labeling on two-piece cans (e.g., pet food cans), it resolves industry pain points such as slow paper label application and material waste. Features include: HMI-controlled operation for easy management. Reduced labor intensity and material waste. Enhanced product quality and automation.

Structural Advantages
1. Automated Operation & Intelligent Detection
Automatic Start/Stop: A photoelectric switch automatically detects bottle entry, enabling intelligent label dispensing and fully automated equipment operation.
Label Detection: Equipped with a label detection function and a "no label" alarm to prevent unlabeled products.
High-Precision Sensing: The product detection sensor utilizes a high-speed German SICK photoelectric eye for accurate and reliable detection.
Easy Adjustment: A dedicated product detection switch adjustment bracket allows for quick and easy modification of the detection point.
2. Efficient Label Handling & Application System
Precision Label Feeding: The label drive roller actively feeds labels controlled by an encoder and photoelectric signals, featuring automatic label tensioning.
Pre-cutting & Transfer: Labels are pre-cut using single or double disc cutters and transferred to the pre-labeling position via a vacuum drum.
Smooth Application: A combination of brushes supports the label, ensuring it is smoothly and seamlessly applied to the bottle surface without bubbles.
High-Speed & Stability: The labeling system employs continuous motion labeling for faster and more stable operation.
3. Durable Construction & Easy Maintenance
Intelligent Lubrication: The entire machine features an intelligent oil lubrication system, ensuring efficient transmission and a longer service life for components like bearings.
High-Quality Materials: Constructed with an all-stainless steel frame, offering a clean, elegant appearance and durable, long-lasting performance.
Quick Changeover: The bottle screw and star wheel incorporate a quick-release design concept, significantly reducing time spent on product changeovers.
Wide Compatibility: Capable of labeling both square and round bottles (utilizing cams, synchronous belts, and servo motors for different application methods).
